3Bridges Community - Early Years Support Service

About

3Bridges is a medium sized charity providing services and support from Early Years to Ageing Well in South East and South West Sydney, servicing 28,500 people annually.

Our social enterprise services such as Out of School Hours Care, Disability Services including Allied Heath and NDIS, along with Education and Training, Home Maintenance and Modifications and My Aged Care Services, allow us to redirect profit into services which are unfunded.

These services include Early Years Support Service, Youth Services and the Dementia Meeting Centre Support Program. These much-needed services support the most vulnerable in our community allowing us to focus on preventative and early intervention while making a significant social impact by having a positive effect to the recipient and those around them.

We pride ourselves on being inclusive, supporting the most vulnerable in the community, and walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders through empowerment, collaboration and creating a safe and inclusive environment.

The Early Years Support Service is a vital early intervention program providing in-home support and guidance for mothers who are vulnerable, overwhelmed and/or struggling with their newborn due to isolation from family or friends, minimal support, premature, multiple, or traumatic birth. Ill health, disability in the family, partners serving in the Australian Defence force, are new to the area, or experiencing domestic violence or mental health issues including anxiety, depression, postpartum and postnatal depression. Following a referral and initial assessment 3Bridges provides weekly fee free, in-home visits by a trained volunteer, or for at-risk mothers, a qualified family support worker.
